and mother of two Amy Tan recently shared her experiences being a mum in Singapore. Her Mar 12 post titled “Subsidised with a ‘C'” reflects on some views that Singaporean families might have at the nation’s hospitals.
While waiting at the hospital, Tan overheard a wife say to her husband, “Later the nurse ask you, just choose A-ward. Subsidised ward a lot of bad influence. The parents let the kids watch TV all day long. They give formula milk to their babies and many of them don’t speak English properly.” Being in a room with seven other patients and a crying child would cause any parent distress. Yet, none of those in the C-class ward complained nor confronted Tan.
“It was because of these kind parents and grandparents in this so-called subsidised ward that I could make it through the night. There was absolutely nothing subsidised in their kindness or generosity towards us, I can vouch for that,” writes the grateful mum.
